DOGS

Greg had a great photo shoot and interview with People magazine back in June 2009 and they put together this People Pets video.

All Greg can say is that dogs are mans best friend.  Greg, being an animal lover all his life, mans best friend has been a main stay since leaving the diving world in 1988.  Started with Great Danes which brought him to the world of the American Kennel Clubs (AKC)  – confirmation.   Offered to train a dog for a friend and went into the world of AKC – obedience, took this fiesty Parson Russell Terrier from a Companion dog – CD title to a Utility Dog – UD title in 8 months, normally a 3 year process.  Her name is Nipper, now 13 years young.

The puppy of the Louganis family is the Hungarian Pumi Hedwig, a herding dog, a fairly new breed to the United States and Hedwig is a pistol.  Hedwig accompanied Greg to a No Hate (NOH8) photo shoot with Adam Bouska and this was the AWESOME shot that Adam took. Greg Louganis with Hedwig a Hungarian Pumi by Adam Bouska NOH8 campaign
